Pretzel Bunny Butts
Making holiday-themed snacks is something I love to do for our kids. They get so excited and it’s a fun way to celebrate a holiday. Pretzel Bunny Butts are easy to put together and kids will love them.
Pretzel bunny butts combine pretzels, chocolate, icing, and a marshmallow for a fluffy bunny butt that is edible.
What Chocolate to Use
When it comes to making pretzel bunny butts you’re going to use a melting chocolate like candy melts or Ghirardelli wafers. You could use chocolate chips, but they don’t always get firm enough.
You can use any flavor or chocolate you like: Milk, Dark, or White.
You can even use colored candy melts in pastel colors to give your bunny butts fun colors like pink, purple, yellow, or green.
What Icing to Use
You could make your own royal icing for these, but this recipe is all about quick and easy! We went with store-bought icing in a tube. The kind you decorate cookies or cake with. Pink is perfect for the little bunny feet.
You can swap out the icing for pink melted chocolate.

How to make Pretzel Bunny Butts
Place a piece of wax paper on a baking sheet.

Cut mini marshmallows in half for the tails. You’ll need one half marshmallow for each pretzel bunny.
Melt chocolate candy coating in the microwave according to package directions.
Carefully use a spoon to fill in the holes of the pretzels with the chocolate.
Place a marshmallow, cut side down, on the top of the bunny butt. You’ll want the sticky side facing down in the chocolate.
Once the chocolate has dried, use pink icing with a small point tip to draw paws on the chocolate for the feet. Let pink icing dry.

Of course, you can put some in a bowl and eat them, but these would be great on an Easter-themed snack board for kids. You could also place some in an Easter cellophane bag to give as treats to friends, family, neighbors, and classmates.
